1. they have been cancelled from RUNTS during the processing for reimbursement or in cases where the cancellation process has started during the processing;
2. they are in the process of dissolution at the date of the application, having either
   • adopted a dissolution resolution

3. submit an application for a total amount equal to or less than euro 50 (fifty)
4. the number of members or volunteers has not been declared in advance in the RUNTS, or that the organisation has registered zero volunteers or members in the appropriate registers.

In order to be eligible for reimbursement, the membership fee must be for the calendar year preceding the year in which the application is submitted. Membership fees with interim validity are also eligible, provided that the period of validity began in the previous calendar year.

Any amounts collected and retained by the provincial organisation that are not paid to the national organisation or subsequently reimbursed by the latter to the provincial federation/coordination are excluded.

Associations must

• be registered in the Single National Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS), in the sections of voluntary organisations and social promotion associations
• be associated and/or affiliated with national organisations registered with RUNTS
• have their registered office in the Province of Trento at the time of payment of the fee
• be in good standing with the filing of their statutes, updated to Third Sector regulations, and the updating of their data on the RUNTS portal.

Both a copy of the bank transfer and the credit card receipt may be submitted as proof of payment, containing the following data

• the bank at which the payment was made
• the amount;
• the date of execution (value date).

The document proving the payment must unequivocally attest to the fact that the payment was debited by the financial institution. To this end, it is required to bear a status of the transaction indicating the actual execution of the payment (e.g. bearing the words "acquired/executed/done"). Receipts showing only the request to execute the transfer are not accepted.

If the payment of the membership fee is made by means of a payment instrument in the name of a person other than the organisation, the latter must attach a copy of the transaction relating to the reimbursement made by the same (by traceable means, not in cash) in favour of the person who personally paid the membership fees. The document proving the reimbursement of the amount paid in advance must indicate

• date of execution prior to the request for reimbursement
• amount corresponding to the sum paid to the national body

Refunds - neither direct nor indirect - that have been made by non-traceable means will not be accepted.
